2 Geographical coverage of the system and the number and edition of the reference chart used for the delineation of the system

 The system covers a 65 mile stretch of the Dover Strait/Pas-de-Calais and is bounded by a line to the east drawn from North Foreland to the border between France and Belgium; and by a line to the west drawn from the Royal Sovereign Light Tower, through the Bassurelle Light Buoy (at its assigned position of 50°32'.80 N, 000°57'.80 E) to the coast of France.

 The reference charts are British Admiralty Charts 2449 (1998 edition, scale 1: 150,000) and 2451 (1991 edition, scale 1:150,000), and also chart 7312 of the French Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (INT 1072) (1994 edition, scale 1:375000). Also relevant is the British Admiralty Chart 5500 - Mariners' Routeing Guide English Channel and Southern North Sea and the French Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service, 5HOM 8001 Chart - Guide pour la préparation de la traversee de la Manche.

 The area of the reporting system is covered by modern hydrographic surveys and areas of unstable seabed are regularly resurveyed to ensure navigational safety.
